Incubator Island

In the SVN version, there is a special island, Incubator Island. In this world are brand new levels that we plan to include in the main level set once they are "ready", i.e. well tested and fun to play. You can actually help us by playing those levels and giving us feedback about them.

Third-party levels

Add-ons

The development version has the ability to automatically download some specially packaged levels, known as "add-ons". Simply ensure you have an internet connection, and select "Addons" from the main menu, where you can choose to install the currently available add-ons.

Manually Installed Add-ons

Additional Add-ons can be installed manually. You can either obtain them from an external source or make your own. You will need to perform the following steps to play these add-ons:

Install either the development snapshot (0.3.3) or the GIT version of SuperTux

Download the desired add-on which should be "zipped" - there is no need to extract them...

Instead, place the .zip file downloaded into your supertux2 directory (alternatively if you are using a GIT version you may place the .zip file directly into the data directory)

Start SuperTux and choose "Contrib Levels" on the main menu, the add-on should be listed here

External add-ons may suffer from more bugs than those automatically downloaded through the game client. They also may not conform to the level design criteria and difficulty requirements for SuperTux. If an external add-on fails to work properly, try to contact the developer of the add-on directly.

Add-on Collection for 0.3.3 and 0.3.3-SVN/GIT

Attention: As of January 2013 the addons accessible in-game have been moved to google code. This means that this addon collection is no longer needed for recent versions of GIT and will no longer be maintained. However, the addons will remain accessible for older versions of SuperTux.

The archive of the add-on collection put together by lmh can be found here. To reduce the clutter on the bugtracker, a forum has been set up to discuss issues with the individual add-ons. All add-ons available to the in-game add-on manager as of June 2013 (461 levels in 16 entries to contrib levels) can be manually installed as a single add-on available here.
